Factors leading insurance companies to charge more to teen boy drivers may be disappearing For decades, teenage boys were considered to be riskier drivers than teenage girls--and had the insurance premiums to prove it. But several new reports suggest that perception may be changing as girls are more readily taking risks while driving. In 1996, an underage male was four times as likely as an underage female to get into a fatal car accident with a blood alcohol concentration of .1 percent, according to a study published Tuesday in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports: A third teenager girl has died in a crash in Fond du Lac County crash that killed two other girls and injured several others early Saturday morning. Katie Berg, 16, died at Froedtert Hospital in Wauwatosa Sunday morning.

A man in his 20s attempted to grab a 14-year-old girl on her way to school this morning in the Logan Square neighborhood, police said in a community alert warning of the attack. About 7:45 a.m. the girl was on the 2700 block of North Fairfield Avenue when the man walked up and attempted to engage her in conversation, police said. The girl ignored the man and walked away, but he followed her and grabbed her by the arm. She was able to pull out of his grasp and run to her school, police said.

The photograph, taken Sept. 4, 1957, is one of most memorable from the civil rights movement: Elizabeth Eckford, one of the "Little Rock Nine" African-American students, in her neat white dress, clasps her books to her breast and holds her head high, with her eyes obscured by sunglasses. Behind her, a well-dressed white girl, Hazel Bryan, shouts at her with rage. Though the photograph captured only a moment, David Margolick's "Elizabeth and Hazel" shows how the episode cast a long shadow over the lives of both teenage girls and forever formed them.

Tavi Gevinson wasted no time on the massive slice of chocolate cake with marshmallow and ice cream making its way from her fork to her mouth. The 15-year-old had endured a grueling month, and not just because of the launch of her sophomore year of high school, with its demanding class schedule, awkward homecoming dance and other adolescent pressures. A small girl with big ambition, she also had survived the launch of Rookie, her online magazine for teenage girls, which already has generated millions of page views, close to 600,000 unique visits and multiple advertisers since going live on Labor Day. The publication — and its immediate popularity — marks a major turning point for the Oak Park teen who burst onto the international fashion scene in 2009 with a style blog penned from her suburban bedroom and a penchant for eccentric outfits, once likened to the look of a grandmother on Ecstasy.

A senior deputy for the Lake County coroner's office has been charged with aggravated criminal sexual abuse, a prosecutor confirmed Monday.

For 14 years, Marshall Smith used the same approach to entice teenage girls into his car, Chicago police say. The heavyset Smith warned the girls that they shouldn't be out alone on the West or South sides. Once they were inside, the married father of 14 turned violent, pulling a handgun, then taking the girls to an isolated spot where he raped them. "Marshall Smith is a man our parents warned us about as children," police Cmdr. Anthony Riccio told reporters Wednesday.
